Dundee Web Design & Affordable Website Design in Dundee
All acerockcola websites are stored on a lightning-fast Managed Cloud Hosting plan with SiteGround, come with an SSL certificate for security & are backed up daily.
Most small to medium websites that acerockcola routinely create for clients can fit into one of the three categories below (but can often consist of elements of each). The main features of those website types are listed here to show the different suggested option for each business. However, every site is created from the ground up to match the client’s vision – so if what you’re looking for doesn’t fit into any of these options, that’s totally fine. Get in touch today & we can start from a blank canvas.
For £499 One-Pager & £999 Small Business websites the payment term is a simple 50% deposit upfront, then the remaining 50% due once you’re happy with the site and it’s live on its intended domain. For any website or any combination of services (such as SEO, email) that exceed £1,000 then the same 50/50 option is available or alternatively a payment plan of 40% deposit and the remaining 60% spread over three monthly payments once the site is live, is also available.

The Web Design Process
After agreeing on a cost for your site, the next question most customers have is a combination of ‘What happens next?‘ & ‘How long will this take?‘.
Below is a breakdown of how acerockcola will work with you & what you should expect.
With the level of attention to detail paid on all acerockcola websites – most take about 3-4 weeks to complete (but can be done faster for an increased cost if needed).
Step One
The Initial Meeting
At a time that suits you, acerockcola can either (pre/post-COVID) come to your workplace or arrange a meeting in a nearby coffee shop but in this current environment, we could either schedule a phonecall or a Zoom/Teams video call with you to discuss your requirements & ideas for your site. This is where you can make clear what you want your site to achieve & look like & also quote you a cost. This process can also be done by Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp if the site is urgent.
Step Two
Designing The Site
If you decide to proceed with acerockcola then the next step is the main design of the site. This process usually takes 3 to 4 weeks (however this can sometimes be longer if there's a delay in getting requested information/media about your business). Conversely, this process can be done quicker if the site is urgent for an additional cost.
Step Three
Presenting the site
After Step Two is complete you'll be emailed a link to your site. This site will not be visible to the public & will also include a walkthrough video demonstrating & explaining the features of your site.
Step Four
Getting the site perfect
We go through Steps Two & Three again until you're happy with the design & function of your website. This process is usually done by email and we can repeat it several times until we get the site to your liking.
Step Five
Launching your website
Once you're happy we can launch your website. If you have control over your domain then this should only takes about 30 minutes (if not the process can take a bit longer but help is available if you need it). Once the site goes live then your SSL certificate (the green padlock in the address bar) can be activated along with your web statistics and any other chosen features.
Every acerockcola site is finalised with extras that show incredible attention to detail. From adding your logo to the Favicon in your browser & submitting your sitemap to Google to making sure your site conforms to the Open Graph Protocol so that when you link your site on social media that it looks professional and representative of your brand. This level of care & attention is paid to every single website before it goes live.
Just for clarification, please remember that in order for your site to have the best success for appearing in Google or Bing search results, ongoing SEO will need to be performed on your site to (first achieve) and then keep it high in search engine results. acerockcola can offer an SEO plan for your site with monthly reports on your gains & rankings or alternatively, you can use a separate SEO company or if search engine rankings aren’t important to you or if you’re reaching your customers by other means like word of mouth, Facebook or traditional advertising, then this service can be skipped. Whatever option you choose, please remember that a lack of SEO work equals a lack of search engine results. The concept of SEO to keep your site in search results is something that affects any website, regardless of who builds it. Be wary of committing to work with web design agencies who fail to mention the importance of SEO, as it’s these companies that likely stop caring about your site as soon as you pay their final design invoice.

Web Design FAQS
I have a rough idea of what I want my site to look like, can it be built the way I want it?
Absolutely.
There may be some compromises needed for SEO compliance and technical limitations but if you have a design or vision for your site in mind, then your site can absolutely be built in your preferred style.
How does the website get updated?
You can update your website in several ways:
1) Your Facebook, Twitter or Instagram feed can be syndicated (& styled) to match your site – new posts on those platforms can be automatically published to your website without any extra effort from you. This approach also encourages people to interact with your social media profiles providing an additional point of contact
2) A news, blog or updates page can be added to your site which you can update and publish to yourself without any web design skill. These news posts can appear as previews on your homepage in addition to them automatically being cross-posted to social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter
3) If you just want something simple like a phone number getting changed or your opening hours updated then there’s no charge – you would just email mail@acerockcola.com with your changes and the site will be updated that day.
If your changes are something bigger (or you want regular updates posted on behalf of you), then acerockcola can make these changes on either a cost-per-hour tier or on an agreed set-monthly basis plan.
